Teaching itself is complex, requiring constant learning and continual reflection.
-- National Science Education Standards, 1996
After watching the video, consider these questions:
 |
| • | What happened in Ms. Chen's class when students examined the data results? |
|
| • | How did Ms. Chen handle the situation? |
|
| • | How might she have addressed the environmental variables that could have influenced the simulation results (e.g., students' aggressive feeding behavior, differences in the shape of aquaria, beak design, timed feeding)? |
|
| • | What would you do in a similar situation? |
|
| • | What questions could you pose to have students describe their predictions, data, and explanations for the results? |
|
| • | How could you extend this lesson to include a real-world connection? |
|
| • | How can teachers use the "unexpected" as a learning/teaching opportunity? |
|
| • | What can be done in planning a lesson like this to prepare for the unexpected? |
|
Record your analysis of what happened in this lesson.
